You've been trying to type this rant up for three weeks, but
you screamed too much into it. It's too much … I can't take
the tape out, I'd lose it. I can't take the tape deck out, I'm
certain I'd lose that too. I lose tape decks at a rate proportional
to the stress I'm under. Recently? One a month. On the tape I'm
shouting so loud …
There were 97 separate marketing messages in my kitchen,
97—200+ duplicates, and I didn't know. I didn't
know. I had to process these messages, and then block them out,
every morning, just to get breakfast and plan my day!
Beating
the Brand
And I thought I was eccentric.
I met Mike briefly a few years ago and he just came across as this guy,
you know? But in reading his journal of the past few months it seems that
his life is a bit more off the deep end than mine.
Puts things into perspective.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
